General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello there. I have read through your question and would like to tell you that syringomyelia causes obstruction to the normal flow of CSF and if it causes severe symptoms like pain, or restriction of movement s surgery is advised by the doctor. Syndopa is an anti Parkinson drug and is given in Parkinson's disease. I hope that answers your question. If you have any further questions please feel free to write. Thank you for choosing healthcare magic.
